I don't want my iPad constantly tied up with the Tidal client streaming to the Airport Express.
The problem is, I can't work out how to get the same kind of experience.
I liked the UI (although not without it's glitches) so wanted to switch over. Even in the base level account type, the audio quality was noticeably better, and HiFi is great. Spotify (the obvious choice) has a nice UI, but the audio quality is horrible on the main HiFi (Apple Airport Express into Arcam Alpha 7, KEF Q5's) - the compression is very noticeable. Apple support were painful and useless at fixing it despite being reproduced on several iOS devices and several Macs so I started looking at other streaming services. I have a few AirPlay devices around the house and I control the music using the Apple Remote app to control the iMac iTunes installation from either my iPad or iPhone.Īll has been well, until recently I started noticing library corruptions happening - stupid things like tracks being in the wrong order, other tracks disappearing, yet being correct and in-order on the main iMac. I have been using Apple Music for the past few years, my system is based around an iMac that I leave iTunes running on (in one login, other family members log in using other accounts for other reasons). Hi, I'm hopeful a few experts here will have been through this and are able to help out.
